The Orangeburg Library has lost over $110,000 in town funding since 2012.

The Orangetown Town Board wants the library to spend down it's emergency account. We have. And if the town continues to cut our funding, we'll have no money to fall back on by 2017.

If the Library's funding is not restored, the Library may have to cut Sunday and evening hours,eliminate senior outreach programs, decrease storytime, and other children's/adult programming.

Help restore Orangeburg Library's funding. Ask the Town Board to provide an additional $24,000 in funding for 2015.

For an Orangeburg home assessed at $300,000, that means $1.85 a month more--less than a cup of coffee!

D-Day Anniversary: Where it All Began — Camp Shanks — Growing up in Rockland County in the late 40’s and 50’s, Jerry Donnellan figured everyone had a military base in their backyard. Not until he returned from Vietnam did he see the need for a museum to tell the Shanks story. Camp Shanks sent 1.3 million troops to Europe and North Africa during WWII, and yet so many born after 1955 know very little of its past. Come find out the history of this essential embarkation camp, and take a tour of the Camp Shanks Museum.
